"Sheltered in a snow cave on Mount Elbrus in 1990, I stared into the mouth of a storm on the tallest peak on the European continent, a merciless mountain that claims more lives per year than Everest. When I emerged from the white haze of that storm alive, after so many had perished, I had no idea how this event would impact the next 30 years of my life.

"My brother John and I-known as the Egan Brothers-could be seen on the Discovery Channel, ESPN, and were featured in twelve Warren Miller Ski Films during the 1980s and 1990s. We found our place in history as storytellers and East Coast renegades of skiing, and were inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2017.

"Thirty Years in a White Haze is a tale of trials, success, and loss told through worldwide adventure and the evolution of extreme skiing as thirty years of haze dissipates to clarity."

-Dan Egan

Industry Reviews

"Thirty Years in a White Haze is a new benchmark in the sports literature library... Egan's blunt, hard-won wisdom about the highs, lows, and sometimes personal costs of following your dreams provides a level of insight and humanity seldom found in the heights of the alpine world. This is a must-read account of a sport and a storied skier's intertwined history."

- Peter Kray, Author of American Snow and The God of Skiing


"Rarely if ever has the ski bum life been told as authentically and honestly as in Thirty Years in a White Haze. Written with remarkable candor and introspection, the book is a chronicle of his nearly primal pursuit of skiing. From the tension of sibling rivalry to the realities of an athlete getting older, Dan Egan and Eric Wilbur have penned a fearless personal and cultural history of one of the most dynamic eras in skiing. Not only is it a must-read for fans of the sport-especially those whose jackets are patched with duct tape-it's a page-turning confessional of a career spent on multiple edges."

- Steve Casimiro, former Editor of Powder Magazine and Founder of Adventure Journal


"Dazzling! A fascinating read by one of the world's gutsiest adventurers... It's hard to tell what Dan Egan is better at-exploring the world's most fascinating and dangerous places or putting into words what his adventures mean to him and to the rest of us."

- Patrick Creadon, Award-Winning Filmmaker and Director of SKI BUM: The Warren Miller Story


"You know when you read something and have no doubt that the person writing it was there for it all... That is this book, for sure. Thirty Years in a White Haze is truly authentic. You can tell Dan lived, breathed, and loved extreme skiing his entire career, and put his life on the line time after time, and lived to tell the story... This book is the raw, truthful, and candid accounts he experienced as a skier. Dan is a true storyteller."

- Justin Koski, Executive Director of the US Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame


"Dan Egan, alongside his brother John, was a big, famous deal in the world of skiing for several decades. One of THE most colorful characters in an already colorful industry, this book about his spectacular career and life is not to be missed. Even if you don't ski, to read about a man who lived life to his fullest, is an inspiration to help you also live your life to the fullest. Not only that, much like you hope an adventure story to be, Thirty Years in a White Haze is one hell of a page-turner."

- Kristen Ulmer, former Best-in-the-World Pro Skier, and Author of The Art of Fear


"Since emerging as a pioneer of skiing in the 1980s, Dan Egan has been central to the sport's colorful, ever-evolving history. With Thirty Years in a White Haze, Egan and Wilbur have laid a graceful set of tracks through this landscape, taking readers to the icy edge of the wilderness and back."

- Nathaniel Vinton, Author of The Fall Line: America's Rise to Ski Racing's Summit
